5/16″ x 8′ Swage Socket Wire Rope Sling | Closed Socket & Closed Socket

This 5/16″ Type 115 swage socket wire rope sling is fitted with a closed swage socket at each end for connection to compatible rigging hardware. Each socket includes a hole that can accept a pin or bolt, while the complete assembly has a working load limit of 1.06 tons.

Always refer to the product identification information, manufacturer instructions, and applicable safety requirements before selecting or using lifting or rigging equipment.

5/16″ Closed Swage Socket Wire Rope Assembly for Lifting and Rigging

Designed for lifting and rigging applications that require closed terminal fittings, this wire rope assembly uses a swage socket at both ends. Swage sockets can offer improved fatigue resistance where the wire rope and socket meet, making them a practical option for demanding assemblies. For applications where rope breaking-strength efficiency is a higher priority, a spelter socket assembly may be worth considering.

Key Features

• 1.06 Ton Working Load Limit: Rated for applications within the assembly’s marked working load limit and specified configuration.
• 5/16″ Wire Rope Assembly: Built around 5/16″ diameter wire rope for compatible lifting and rigging applications.
• Closed Swage Sockets at Both Ends: Each terminal fitting includes a hole designed to accept a compatible pin or bolt.
• Type 115 Swage Socket Design: Swaged terminations provide strong end connections with good fatigue resistance where the cable enters the socket.

Common Applications

• Industrial rigging assemblies
• Lifting and material handling systems
• Equipment and machinery connections
• Construction rigging applications
• Wire rope assemblies requiring closed terminal fittings

Before You Choose a Sling

• Review Rated Capacity: Confirm the 1.06 ton working load limit and product specifications are suitable for your intended application.
• Confirm Connection Requirements: Verify the closed swage socket dimensions, pin or bolt size, and mating hardware are compatible with your rigging system.
• Compare Socket Types: Swage sockets offer advantages in fatigue resistance at the termination, while spelter sockets may provide greater rope breaking-strength efficiency depending on the application.
